This report provides a disaggregated
profile of the world's small and large-scale fisheries
and an estimate of its direct and indirect contributions to
gross domestic product, food security, and rural livelihoods
to uncover the hidden importance of the fisheries sector
with a view to increasing its economic and environmental
contributions in a sustainable manner. The study reveals
serious information deficiencies that undermine decision
makers' understanding of the importance of the
fisheries sector. The study concludes that the contribution
of the world's fisheries to national and global
economies is greater than that generally recognized by
decision makers and makes recommendations to reform, inform,
and improve data collection regarding capture fisheries.
